Olbermann unhinged
In a rant so over the top that he seemed to be channeling Howard Beal, Keith Olbermann on Wednesday night accused President Bush of creating "cold-blooded killers … who may yet be charged someday with war crimes" and who have "laid waste to Iraq." Of course, this was on MSNBC, so almost no one saw it.

They're lapping it up at Democratic Underground, Huffington Post, Pandagon, Crooks and Liars, etc.
But don't you dare say they don't support the troops.
Olbermann hould be tested for rabies. And then forced to diagram this
sentence of his:
"And as a final crash of self-indulgent nonsense, when the
incontrovertible truth of your panoramic and murderous deceit has even
begun to cost your political party seemingly perpetual congressional seats
in places like North Carolina and last night Mississippi, you can actually
say with a straight face, sir, that the members of Congress, "the political
heat gets on and they start to run and try to hide from their votes," while
you greet the political heat and try to run and hide from your presidency,
and your legacy, 4,000 of the Americans you were supposed to protect are
dead in Iraq, with your only feeble, pathetic answer being, "I was told by
people that they had weapons of mass destruction."
Ooh, I used to love diagramming sentences! Some time ago, English teachers
stopped teaching kids to diagram sentences, and I suspect that's part of
the reason for the inarticulateness of the younger generations and perhaps
the decline of Western Civilization.
